Genie: Need a glossary of terms- theory of change is not something people are familiar with

Dean: theory of change is used professionally and we still need some sort of academic standard with evidence

Mona: examples need to be as easy to read and adapt as possible, depends on audience especially if we are trying to reach Global South and those implementing programs. Agree with Dean re: professionalism though not many groups understand this terminology… and what are the most basic steps a group can take to create a Theory of Change or those types of change concepts

Stacy: translation to other languages (English was a limitation of survey) and potentially more plain language

Dan: need not just other languages but potentially bridging secular and faith groups

Jean: Consider this EWG a resource library not a best practice manual

Dan: liked the idea of library especially as interviewees said some examples were more relevant than others

Sadvhi: Surprised by comments on theology; Evidence for program and project –is fact –distinguishes it from scripture!! Bridge chasm between faith foundation and partnering w other orgs who want data

Levi: Further define accountability to include transparency, verifiable and welcoming (invites others to verify facts we privilege and if proven wrong can change)

Changes to EWG

Proposed front page: the guide should start with brief questions presented in a FAQs format in order to answer what the guide is, who it is for, what the purpose, how it can be used and similar questions

Add purpose

Who is this guide for?

What it’s not (maybe a table or graphic with this)

Glossary of terms and potential changes for accessibility of language (whether translation or plain language- WACC?)

Should we start additional examples?

As capacity allows will start considering new examples for the library
